MU Blue Screen of Death!

Heh, I spent about twenty minutes signing up for G1 to play MU Online. Then, I spent nearly two hours downloading the game and updating it. Then, I played two servers, leveling up a knight and a wizard. When I exited, I saw the blue screen of death again. Just like Forsaken. Only I was in windowed mode this time!

I strongly suggest you stay away from MU Online.

Forsaken Blue Screen of Death!

MU Online must be a great game, because this private server has plenty of players. Nevertheless, I'm the newcomer, and I'm, sometimes, treated unfairly.

I'm contemplating getting the real game, because Forsaken doesn't seem to have all the features worked out. Also, the updates take way too long, and after playing for a short time, I exited the game to have the dreaded "blue screen of death" appear. I restarted WinXP, no data was lost, but I uninstalled some iffy drivers, like the dual-core optimizer. (I really only have one.) I had to be sure WinXP wouldn't crash again.

I'll post screenshots of the real MU Online if I'm able to play it, but Forsaken is still a very nice alternative, and I suggest you try it (if you have broadband).

Weekly Game Bash #3

I had some trouble deciding what to 'bash' this time, so I'll just mention a few random games (or so-called games) I've played and mention why I despise them. To start us off, I'm playing the Forsaken MU server. I don't know if the real thing is as bad, but updates take a while, and I get very impatient, waiting to play for just twenty minutes before the next game of my daily routine...

Live Search Club! That's right! I've been saving my points to get a Xbox 360, which is 25000 points, and I already have over 1100 points. The Live Search games have been pretty hard until yesterday, when I got to play a trivia game with Matt Lauer plastered on it. Matt is never going to be a model, ok!? Anyway, the trivia game is all guess work, but you can earn points real fast by tracking the right answers and redoing each trivia session to get as many points as possible. The reason I hate Live search Club is the insanely slow website. It can sometimes take several minutes to load the simplest of games, like the trivia, and the game itself isn't even very graphical. Also, sometimes, MSN loads instead of Live Search.

Worse than Live Search Club is the game that consumed a lot of my youth, Runescape. No, not Run Escape; Rune Scape. It was great in maybe year 2002, when it was still only a pseudo-3d game, when everything was pretty much free-to-play, however, in 2004, most of the game was pay-to-play, and they simply forced all the old players to either convert to their new game or resort to playing private servers, which were never a big deal, because they never acted like the real game. If you've ever played a private server for any MMORPG, you probably understand what I'm talking about, for example, faster movement, including easy teleportation to every important area of the world, and easily leveled-up characters. In, I think, late 2006, I began to, casually, invest time into the 'members' (pay-to-play) version of RS, because I started getting money from my cousin to play it with him, which proves how lonely you can get playing a massively multiplayer game. I recently converted back to the free version, but all my members items are still on me, so I'm forced to either lose all my hard-earned equipment or start paying that monthly fee again. I rather just not play.

Next week, I will delve into game programming and the faults in many popular games, including Halo, Half-Life 2, and Fable. Please, comment on my bashes, because I thrive on feedback.

Free MyCokeRewards Codes

If you 'play' MCR (or My Coke Rewards), you must know how hard it is to gain points without buying tons of Coke products. Some (if not all) of the promo codes have expired, and most old members have already used them. Most free code sites are flooded and become races to see who can use a single code first for a mere 3-10 points.

I plan to help you guys out. You see, I had several hundred points saved up on my account, but my points actually expired due to my inactivity or my time away from the internet, so I gave up entering codes. However, I have tons of 3-point codes left, anyway, so if anyone wants a set of ten (10) codes, I'll send you them by email. Each person who comments on this blog topic will receive ten 3-point codes via email. Just post your email or have it available to me via your user profile.
